Police looking into two Sunday shooting incidents

Police in Monroe are investigating a pair of shootings that took place Sunday evening.

At 5 p.m. Sunday, the MPD reported to a call of shots fired in the area of Burg Jones Lane and Deloach Street. An investigation revealed a crowd of people were gathered in the 2600 block of Deloach when a fight started.

During the incident, an unknown subject produced a handgun and fired at least three shots. Police said no one was struck by a bullet or injured.

One bullet entered a residence through a window and lodged in a wall. People were inside and outside the residence at the time of the incident and no one was injured.

The MPD believes the residents of the home were not the intended victims of the suspect.

About two hours later, police responded to a reported shooting of a man in the 1800 block of Powell Avenue.

An investigation shows the male victim was confronted by a group of subjects when an altercation ensued. During the altercation, an unknown suspect produced a handgun and shot once, striking the victim in the shoulder.

The victim was taken to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
